JAKARTA - The United States contingent announced that NBA star LeBron James will be the flag bearer at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, Friday, July 26, 2024, local time.
The selection of Los Angeles Lakers players as flag bears is not without reason. James has won two Olympic gold medals while defending the United States Basketball National Team.
In addition, United States basketball athletes have never been appointed as flag bearers throughout their participation in the Olympics.
This means that LeBron James became the first male basketball player to carry the Stars and Stripes flag at the opening of the Olympics.

LeBron James and colleagues will start the journey on July 28, 2024. They will face FIBA World Cup runners-up Serbia in the first match.
